Son of God, Husband, Father, member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Blessed beyond measure. No DMs. “God is in relentless pursuit of you.”

[Neil L. Andersen @AndersenNeilL]

I feel increasingly drawn to the Savior’s love and the never-ending blessings promised us through the Atonement of Jesus Christ.

When I think of the suffering I have personally seen as I have traveled throughout much of the world in my calling as an Apostle—which is so infinitesimally small compared with all those who have or will ever walk the earth—I cannot, with any words I know, describe the feelings in my heart for what must have occurred in the heart and mind and body and soul of the Savior in His sacred moments of all-encompassing suffering for the sins and pain of all humanity.

He did not shield us from the difficult experiences of life that bring immeasurable pain, but He protected us from everlasting suffering and estrangement from Heavenly Father and allowed us, through His all-encompassing suffering, to have the blessing of perfect joy and eternal happiness in the presence of God.

The human mind can scarcely begin to comprehend how completely the destiny of mankind changed because of what happened in Gethsemane, on the cross, and at the tomb.

It is cool to see it work things out like that. But let’s be honest. A 16 yr old, in the first hour of driving can find the exit to a parking lot much faster. Probably remembers where they entered the parking lot. The mental gymnastics FSD goes through to find the way out of a parking lot is exhausting

@TitaniumTomP That’s just your side yard. Right?

Today, the beautiful doors of the Salt Lake Temple were installed. This temple and the temples around the world are meaningful to members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints because when we enter through these doors, we enter the house of the Lord. There is no place on earth in which we are closer to Him.

There is something profoundly symbolic about stepping into the Lord’s holy house. In doing so, we leave behind the noise and burdens of a troubled world and enter a place of peace, light, and divine love. Within the holy walls of the temple, we make promises that connect us to our Heavenly Father and His Son, Jesus Christ.

As we leave the temple, we walk through these doors strengthened and renewed. We feel a sense of purpose and gratitude. And we carry with us a deeper sense of God’s love for us.

The joyful sacredness and importance of the temple can be taught to and felt by the youngest of God’s children. Holiness to the Lord is not just a text on the outside of the temple, it is a condition of life promised by Heavenly Father that can be felt anywhere, at any time.

[Peacemaking Saint @PeacemakingSt]

In 1973, the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints shared timeless guidance for fathers.

Every father stands to benefit by reading this advice which is centered on gospel truth. Here are the points of emphasis:

1. Your fatherhood is, in a sense, an apprenticeship to godhood.

2. Your earth life is a part of the plan of salvation that enables you to become like your Father in Heaven.

3. Jesus Christ is your example to show you the way to return to your Father in Heaven.

4. A righteous family is an eternal unit.

5. You are the presiding authority in the home.

6. The Church exists to assist you to return with your family to the presence of our Father in Heaven.

7. You and your wife are cocreators with God for the eternal welfare of His spirit children.

8. You teach most effectively by example.

9. The greatest work you will ever do will be within the walls of your own home.

10. You must seek the Spirit of the Lord in leading your family.

11. The mother sustains the father and is his helpmeet, his counselor.

12. You and your wife are one in purpose.

13. You have the responsibility for the physical, mental, social, and spiritual well-being of your children.

14. You have the responsibility to lead your family by:
- Governing, correcting, nurturing, and blessing them in meekness, tenderness, and love on the principles of righteousness (see D&C 121:34–45).
- Creating an environment in the home conducive to order, prayer, worship, learning, fasting, happiness, and the Spirit of the Lord.
- Teaching them the principles of faith in Christ, repentance, baptism, the gift of the Holy Ghost, enduring to the end, and praying vocally and in secret.
- Loving God and keeping His commandments.

Fatherhood is not easy. But the Lord aids those fathers who seek His help, transforming them into their best selves.

[Ulisses Soares @Ulisses__Soares]

On this Father’s Day, I express gratitude for fathers everywhere who strive to nurture their families in love, faith, and righteousness. I consider being a father and a grandfather one of my life’s greatest blessings.

The most powerful teaching happens not only through words but through the way we live our lives. As we align our will with the Lord and seek to do those things that please Him, our homes can become places of faith, love, and spiritual strength.

Fathers who lead with humility, devotion, and a desire to follow the Savior help their families draw closer to Him. Their quiet example can inspire faith and shape lives in ways that last for generations.

To all fathers and father figures—thank you for your patience, your sacrifices, and your devotion. Your influence matters more than you know.

[Clark G. Gilbert @ClarkG_Gilbert]

The Sacred Role of Fathers:

“Of all the titles of respect and honor and admiration that are given to Deity, He has asked us to address Him as Father” ("Father, Consider Your Ways," Ensign, June 2002). Our Father in Heaven models this parental role for all of us.

In Elder David A. Bednar’s thought about my calling to the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, he captured my feelings about being a husband and a father. One of my favorite parts of the article was this quote from my daughter: “It’s cool to think of my father as an Apostle, but he’s still just my dad.” I’m also grateful for my own father’s comments and his efforts to be an example of righteous parenting.

I join with all of the striving fathers doing their best, knowing we all need heaven’s help in this sacred and demanding parental responsibility.

Happy Father’s Day

Missionary work is soaring to new heights. We are days away from the opening of 55 new missions. This brings the total number of missions to 506. There is a total of over 87,000 full-time missionaries. And we are currently being reinforced by the first wave of 18-year-old sisters beginning their service. 

In coming weeks, we will have the largest number of full-time missionaries in the history of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

These missionaries’ first responsibility is to testify of Jesus Christ to a world that suffers without knowledge of His divine mission. They invite people across the globe to become part of His true and living Church.

I affirm my testimony of Jesus Christ and the truth of His gospel. The Holy Ghost has given me a witness of its truthfulness, and I rejoice that I can spend my life in proclaiming it.

This is an amazing video. Elder Gong’s shows an amazing understand of AI and the proper use of place of it. I love the clarity he provides of its use and our relationships to each other and God. I encourage everyone to watch this.

[The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints @Ch_JesusChrist]

In a new video from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Elder Geritt W. Gong of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles explores “how to hear God’s voice clearly in an age of artificial intelligence (AI), and why that distinction matters more now than ever.”

“Can artificial intelligence replace God?” Elder @GerritWGong asks in the hour-long, gospel workshop video now available on YouTube. “That question may sound provocative, but in an age when we turn to algorithms for answers, guidance and even comfort, it matters deeply.”

Here's another since I'm on a roll:

God is not silent to His Children. He has a prophet on the earth today and his name is Dallin H Oaks.
Your life will be better by drawing closer to the Savior Jesus Christ and listening to His prophet.

@Tesla @elonmusk Lately it’s struggling to find and park in any spot.

[Ricardo @Ric_RTP]

This AI just exposed the BIGGEST legal insider trading operation in America.

A platform called GovGreed built a seven-layer machine learning system that cross-references every stock trade disclosed by every sitting politician against the bills their committees control, the campaign donations they receive, and the companies their votes directly impact.

It scored all 540 politicians currently in Congress. And the numbers are crazy:

56% of every stock purchase made by Congress in the last 16 months was on a stock directly affected by a bill the buyer later voted on. That is 6,170 out of 11,016 total purchases.

More than HALF of all congressional stock buys are on companies whose fate that same politician is about to decide.

343 of 540 Congress members actively trade stocks while holding access to nonpublic legislative information.

That is 63.8% of the entire legislature making market bets with an informational edge that would put any hedge fund manager in prison.

The AI identified 752 active "Triple Signals" in the current Congress. A Triple Signal fires when three conditions line up at once:

The politician sits on the committee controlling a bill, they traded stock in a company affected by that bill, AND they received campaign contributions from that same industry.

Bills carrying these insider indicators pass at 5.4 TIMES the normal rate.

Now look at the individual leaderboard:

- Nancy Pelosi's estimated portfolio sits at $194 million with a Greediness score of 98.1 out of 100
- Ro Khanna made 13,231 trades across 800+ different tickers
- Michael McCaul made 32,302 trades and filed 6,670 of them late
- Thomas Suozzi filed 86.4% of his trades late with an average delay of 396 days, meaning his disclosures landed over a YEAR after he made the trade

And then there is Lisa McClain, the fourth-ranking Republican in the House. She has made 1,443 trades in three years, more than 98% of all politicians tracked.

She violated the STOCK Act twice in a single year, disclosing up to $900,000 in trades months after the legal deadline. Her husband bought up to $250,000 in Elon Musk's xAI, which quietly converted into SpaceX equity before last Friday's $2 trillion IPO.

The penalty for all of this? A $200 fine.

The number of Congress members ever prosecuted under the STOCK Act since it passed in 2012? Zero.

And the cruelest part is this:

A bill to ban congressional stock trading was introduced in January 2026. It has bipartisan support. Over 80% of American voters want it passed.

But Congress is sitting on it, because the people who would have to vote yes are the same people making millions from the system staying exactly the way it is.

They write the insider trading laws, they exempt themselves from enforcement, they trade on the information those laws generate, and when they get caught, they pay a fine that is basically nothing.

The AI didn't discover anything Congress was hiding. It just organized what was already public into a pattern so obvious that nobody can pretend it isn't there anymore.

@TheWis65 @Tesla_AI @Tesla @elonmusk Dude, you are driving a ton of miles. Is that all you do?

[Celtic Prince @bike2live]

@TitaniumTomP Did some of that yesterday. I let to robot drive over the twisty turns of the pass through those.

[Celtic Prince @bike2live]

That is awesome. It should be permanent

[Mila Joy @Milajoy]

This should be permanent, don't you think?

It's just incredibly patriotic and beautiful.

Makes me happy to be an American.
